Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ophelia — a shy queen with main character energy waiting for the right audience. 🐱✨
Much like an underrated Taylor Swift deep cut, Ophelia doesn’t immediately shine in a loud, crowded room. At the adoption center, she tends to stay tucked away, observing from the sidelines, carefully protecting her heart. But in her foster home? Oh—this is her Eras Tour.
Once she feels safe, Ophelia reveals her softer tracks: gentle head bumps, quiet companionship, and a presence that feels like a cozy cardigan on a rainy afternoon. She thrives in a calm environment where she can set the pace, build trust, and show you the sweet, affectionate soul she keeps hidden from the spotlight.
Ophelia is looking for someone who understands that the best things aren’t always instant hits—that some love stories unfold slowly, beautifully, and are absolutely worth the wait. Give her a peaceful home, a little patience, and she’ll give you a bond that feels timeless. Are you ready to be the one she finally lets hear her full album? 💕🐾
*Ophelia is temporarily living in a foster home until she finds her family. If you would like to meet Ophelia, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Adoptions Specialists, so we can ensure they are here to meet you when you arrive. Please click “Adopt Ophelia” to complete an interest survey and one of our Adoptions Specialists will connect with you to set up an appointment!*
